HOW TO
DIFFUSE YOUR CURLS LIKE A PRO
Everything you need to know about diffusing what it is, why it matters, and how to do it right
✨ What is Diffusing?
Diffusing is the process of drying your curls using a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer. It helps define your curl pattern, reduce frizz, and speed up drying — all without disturbing the shape of your curls.
This method is perfect for anyone who wants:
-
More volume
-
Faster drying time
-
Defined, frizz-free curls
💁🏽♀️What You’ll Need
To diffuse your curls, you’ll need:
-
A blow dryer with a diffuser attachment
-
Or a universal diffuser that fits your existing dryer
-
Optional: a microfiber towel or t-shirt to blot excess water before drying
🎥 Step-by-Step:
How to Diffuse Your Hair
1. Start with wet, styled hair.
Apply your styling cream (like Conceited Luxe) while your curls are still soaking wet.
2. Blot gently
Use a microfiber towel or soft t-shirt to blot excess water. Avoid rubbing or rough towel drying — this helps minimize frizz before you even start.
3. Attach your diffuser.
Secure the diffuser to your blow dryer. Set it tolow or medium heatandlow speedto protect your curls from heat damage and minimize flyaways.
4. Flip, Tilt, Cup & Hold.
Tilt your headforward,side to side, andupside downwhile diffusing to build volume at the roots and avoid flat spots.
Gentlycupyour curls in the diffuser and lift toward your scalp. Hold for a few seconds, then move on to the next section. Keep the diffuser moving and avoid hovering in one place too long.
5. Avoid touching.
Hands off! Let your curls set in place while they dry. Touching too early causes frizz and can disturb your curl pattern.
6. Scrunch out the crunch.
Once your curls are 100% dry, scrunch to break the cast (that firm, crunchy layer from styling cream) and reveal soft, defined curls with movement.
We’ve got you.
